At a press event today, Motorola Mobility and Verizon Wireless announced the Droid RAZR. This Android smartphone is only 7.1mm thick, and it has Gorilla Glass, an internal metal frame and a Kevlar back for strength. Moto has been working on improved LTE radios that are smaller and lower power, and they claim this LTE 4G phone will have better battery life than other LTE phones currently on the market (that's not saying much, but we're glad to hear it). It has an 1780 mAh battery crammed into that super-thin frame.

The phone has a 4.3" qHD Super AMOLED display, a dual core TI OMAP 1.2GHz CPU, a gig of RAM and Motorola's usual Webtop environment for those of you who want to use it with their Lapdock 100.

The phone runs Android OS 2.3.5 (sorry, no Ice Cream Sandwich yet). It will be available in early November for $299 with contract on Verizon, and Verizon has the exclusive. Pre-orders start October 27.
